Countless musicians receive gifts from their fans. But the relationship between Trish Jetton, front woman of the pop-reggae act Hirie, and her fans is particularly unique. Their offerings are special: lovingly curated to nurture her psyche, to stoke her self-care, her idiosyncrasies. Late last year, Trish was particularly moved when given a copy of Women Who Run With the Wolves, a book that explores feminine instinct and power. It celebrates, as she says beaming, “that wild woman archetype.” The gesture anticipated the theme of "Dreamer", Hirie’s latest album, which features the free-spirited anthem “Stay Wild,” inspired by that gift. A sonic journey baselined by reggae beats, "Dreamer" at turns celebrates the bold, joyful, and even messy impulses that drive the female experience. “This album is about raw honesty,” Trish says. “I feel like I was braver with exploring my emotional state and how that swings back and forth — allowing myself to be brutally honest.” Rdgldgrn and Kash'd Out are set to open.

Ready for a night of non-stop laughter? Join Florida’s funniest comedians, Myke Herlihy and Kevin White, as they bring the funny from across the Sunshine State with their hilarious show, "Florida's Funniest Comedians," live at the Delray Beach Playhouse! Born in Manchester, CT., Myke Herlihy is one of the most lovable jerks you’ll ever meet! After spending 13 years behind bars, serving drinks not time, Myke now takes his bartender’s sarcasm and wit to the stage. Whether he’s discussing his failed relationships, ranting about the trials and tribulations of being an unplanned father, or reminiscing over the insanity that was his middle childhood, Myke always manages to find the light at the end of the tunnel. Boston’s own southern transplant, Kevin White, describes himself as a wounded veteran of two marriages. Raised on a strict regime of cartoons, comic books and afternoon movie marathons, Kevin’s outlook on life and love has been described as "somewhat troubled." But it’s his unique outlook that will have you feeling right at home. Having appeared in bit parts on HBO to national commercials and even the "Today" show, Kevin has that look of the guy know from that thing, but once you spend some time in his mind, you’ll be reminded of why so many women describe him as an "Ex."

Headliner Phil Hanley will close out the inaugural Flamingo Comedy Festival at the Boca Raton Innovation Campus (the former IBM Campus where the PC was invented). Phil Hanley began standup comedy by performing at open mics around Vancouver, often in between bands at music venues. In these establishments he discovered and honed his unique blending of material and crowd interaction that makes no two of his performances the same. Phil’s style can best be described as unpredictably reflective, delivered with sharp accuracy, and rooted in the grand tradition of joke-telling. Phil has previously been seen on "Late Night with Seth Meyers", "The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson", "The Pete Holmes Show", "John Oliver’s New York Stand-Up Show", and "@midnight". He has been showcased at numerous comedy festivals and can be seen regularly at The Comedy Cellar in New York City. Free parking on-site. [less-]

Troubadour, singer-songwriter, folky and storyteller all are fair labels to describe Ellis Paul, but they do not quite suffice. However, the tattoo of Woody Guthrie worn proudly on his arm is a good starting place from which to grasp his musical sensibilities, for it is from the Woody Guthrie tradition that he hails. Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and James Taylor are among his influences, and their spirits seem to occasionally grace his work. With an acoustic guitar in hand, he weaves intimate, provocative and romantic tales of lives that were obviously witnessed by a most talented voyeur. [less-]
